Our invention relates to improvements in windshield cleaners, andmoteparticularly as refers toa special form of wiper adapted the shieldby a motoror the like. :1 I

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a vertical elevationpartlybroken away showing a windshield with the attachment "thereon; and,Figure 2 is a detail view of the hinge connection between the sectionsof the wiper arm. I Referring nowmore particularly to thedrawings 10indicates the shield and.11-11' the sections of the wiper or cleaner.12in dicates a suitable form of electric motor which may be attached tothe uprights 13 by any suitable means such as straps 14.

. When the current is turned on the motor- 12, the-lever 22 isoscillated, which lever in turn engages the bifurcated end 31 of. the

upper cleaner section 11, which section is.

- pivotally suspended on the windshield or a bracket therefor. in anysuitable ,manner.

or cleaner sections 11 and 11' oscillate pen dulumwise across thewindshield as indicated in dotted, lines Figure 1. The wiper is formedof two sections, the sections being united by a pivot 33 having disposedthereon a coil spring provided with extended arms 33. and 33",.one armbeing connected with the section. 11 and the other with'the' section'11. This spring normally serves to maintain the sectlons inactualalignment, but'jupon strikingthe side of the frame 34 ofthewindshieldthe lower section 11 bends asshown 1n dotted lines at 33,decreasing the area ac-tually cleaned. In other words, it is clear thatone section can be moved relativeto the other, but that during thenormal oscillation of the cleaner the sections ounted onthe pivot pin33. We claim:- 3
